Akuatica

I waited a long time for this game to come out and I have to say I'm very dissapointed. It looks really nice and controls decent, but the puzzles didn't make me feel accomplished for figuring them out and more often than not was making me mad and confused. Most of the puzzles aren't even logical or fun at all, and mainly concentrate on precise execution and trial and error, which causes rage quits. The first time I got stumped for an hour was actually because they failed to explain the charge control (used with spacebar) while the rest can be controlled using only the mouse? Be ready to retry long puzzles over and over again because they surprise you with something you couldn't have known about near the end. This is the worst form of trial and error and I highly recommend you keep yourself from this bucket of stress.

+ Nice Graphics + Good Soundtrack + Challenging puzzles ~ No controller support - Sometimes it's a bit frustrating, when you don't know what to do 8/10 If you like hard puzzle games, then this one is for you.

Yeah, I think I should have passed on this one. I just can not get into it. I am unsure if I can put my finger on it, but to me it just feels abit unforgiving. Part puzzle part action game, only there is no real direction on what you are suppose to do and most of the time there is no time to experiment to find out because you die so easily. And when you do figure it out, your reward is the next puzzle boss. There is no gameplay in between. Maybe that is what I am missing, "level style" game play that prepares you for the next puzzle. I enjoy a good puzzle game but this one just dosen't keep me interested enough to keep trying. It IS NOT A BAD GAME. The artwork is unique and the music fits the style, the controls...click there swim there.. are ok. I feel like I am breaking up with someone I really just didn't dig....It's not you it's me.

It can be difficult to figure out exactly what it is you need to do at any given time, but that's a lot of the appeal right there: this one doesn't hold your hand as much as similar examples of the genre. The art style is very unique, and the music creates the desired ambience. I personally love it. As long as you can handle some frustration, at the level of a moderately hard platformer game, you'll have a very good time.

I really like the clean look of the game. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a fan of the controls, which make the game more difficult than it already is. The puzzles can take quite a while to figure out and will often need very quick reflexes, which can be rather frustrating at times (read: most of the time). Gameplay can then basically be summed up as dying over and over and over until you figure out what you're supposed to do and then dying over and over and over trying to successfully execute the solution. Still, I do like the frequent "boss fights" and when I haven't died 22 times in a row without an inkling as to what to do the game can be quite enjoyable. Come into the game thinking of it as Dark Souls with fish and you'll probably enjoy your time.

I'm enjoying it alot. Love the artwork and music. Nice how they don't hold your hand and show you how to do things . Now to make me up a template so i can use my Steam Controller :)

Love the bold style but it's too hard to be enjoyed.

Although it gets quite hard and sometimes you have to fiddle around with things to work out what to do but the artstyle is really good and the gameplay is fun

Not a good game... the levels are incredibly difficult even on normal. You can't even get past the 5th puzzle without searching up a solution, and there aren't any unless it's for the first few puzzles.

Running into the first obstacle forcing you to google a solution after 1 minute of gameplay is bad
